"The Grand Finale" This is the most ambitious and self indulgent thing I've ever done - an attempt at bringing together some of the biggest experiments from the "month of chiptune" project into one epic 11 and a half minute song. Here's what the song contains: the whole song is structured similar to day 29's "three generations", and progresses through each third made up of: GAME BOY SECTION 0:00 Solo and rhythm guitar section for the intro (as in day 12 and day 21) 0:48 a live percussion section featuring a bunch of different instruments (as in chiptune boomwhackers - day 25) 1:36 stylophone solo as in day 13s 2:24 4/4 lead over 5/4 rhythm, same concept as day 18's "over lapping time signatures" 3:03 GENESIS SECTION 3:11 mixolydian - this section experiments with the mixolydian mode of C major, as in Day 16's video "G Mixolydian 3/4 3:44 another stylophone section, this time accompanied by genesis sounds 4:08 heavier orchestral section, uses the most "epic" sounds I could, plus a more distorted and rocky lead and rhythm guitar section. 6:07 N64 6:16 harmonica! As in day 27's Chiptune Harmonica. I really love this section and on to the end... It's weird and folksy and the N64 instruments I think mix well with instruments here especially... 7:04 the boomwhackers and live percussion again. I think of my attempts at using live percussion instruments this section and onwards is the best folksy and quirky sound I've gotten out of this silly experiment, and I love it :D 8:00 Guitar outro, and a bunch more percussion. All of the chiptune and synth instruments drop away here except for a single organ, so for the last few minutes the song is almost entirely live instruments, with a lot of layering and mixing. Creating the video for these sections was the hardest part by far! I'm Scott Arc and thank you for attending my TED talk.
